Chapter 422 – To Want Me to Oppose Lord Demon Lord, I Cannot Do It!

“Absolutely not!”

Xujian Jun’s heart surged with anxiety as he hurriedly stood up and spoke to Xujian Kongling.

Xujian Kongling furrowed his brows, his expression surfacing with displeasure.

“Are you intending to defy This Lord’s words?”

After saying that, a terrifying spiritual pressure abruptly erupted from Xujian Kongling’s body.

The four walls of the main hall and the heavy stone pillars instantly cracked and shattered; the Northern Domain crowd kneeling on the ground was pressed so hard they couldn’t breathe, their heads hanging low as cold sweat poured down their bodies.

Xujian Jun felt a massive, invisible force pressing down on his back, instantly pinning him back to the ground and making it extremely difficult for him to even lift his head.

He had only ever felt this kind of terrifying power and pressure from the body of the Demon Lord!

Xujian Jun desperately withstood Xujian Kongling’s spiritual pressure, his palms pressing so deeply into the floor that they sank within it, and the ground beneath his feet cracked and inverted!

Xujian Kongling slowly stood before Xujian Jun, looking down at him with cold eyes as he spoke:

“As a descendant of the Xujian family, you are actually willing to live under another’s roof and bow your head to someone else as a vassal?”

“You have managed to preserve the prosperity of the Xujian family; this point is worthy of praise.”

“But you are content to submit at another’s feet, acting as a mere Lord of the Northern Domain. This Lord is too disappointed!”

“Ancestor Kongling, this junior has always sought opportunities to challenge the Demon Lord…”

“It is only that the Demon Lord’s strength is extraordinary, and I am not the Demon Lord’s opponent.”

Xujian Jun explained with great difficulty.

The several ladies kneeling at the hall entrance also gathered their courage and hurriedly pleaded on Xujian Jun’s behalf:

“Lord Ancestor, Lord Xujian Jun has always taken pride in the honor of the Xujian family and has always been looking for an opportunity to challenge the Demon Lord and reclaim the position of Demon Lord.”

“That’s right; for this reason, Lord Xujian Jun has been defeated by the Demon Lord countless times and has also suffered countless severe injuries.”

“It was only not long ago that the injuries on Lord Xujian Jun’s body finally recovered…”

Hearing the women’s words, Xujian Kongling slowly retracted the spiritual pressure radiating from his body.

“Since that is the case, This Lord shall spare you.”

“You were not the Demon Lord’s match, so This Lord can understand your temporary grievance under the Demon Lord.”

“But now, This Lord has returned!”

“It is time to take back everything that should belong to the Xujian family!”

“This Lord shall assist you in ascending to the position of the supreme of the Demon Realm!”

“Many thanks, Lord Ancestor!”

The several ladies hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude.

Seeing Xujian Jun remain unmoved without any reaction, the ladies were consumed with anxiety and hurriedly crawled to Xujian Jun’s side, tugging at his clothes as an underlying hint.

Xujian Kongling had spoken to this extent, already giving Xujian Jun a very obvious way out.

If he still did not show his awareness and express loyalty and obedience, he would likely provoke the Ancestor’s wrath!

However, regardless of how the several ladies signaled with their eyes or tugged at his clothes, Xujian Jun did not show the slightest reaction.

Xujian Kongling, who had been waiting for Xujian Jun’s answer, also began to furrow his brows, his face showing displeasure.

After pondering for a moment, Xujian Jun lifted his head and looked at Xujian Kongling with a resolute expression as he stated:

“My gratitude to Ancestor Kongling for your fulfillment!”

Hearing this, Xujian Kongling’s tightly knit brows relaxed slightly.

The hearts of everyone else present that had been hanging in suspense were finally put at ease.

Fortunately, Lord Xujian Jun did not do something foolish and chose not to continue defying Lord Xujian Kongling…

However, in the next second, the hearts that everyone had just put down instantly leaped back into their throats.

Xujian Jun continued to speak solemnly:

“Ancestor Kongling’s good intentions are appreciated by this junior, but if you want me to oppose the Demon Lord, I cannot do it!”

“Lord Xujian Jun…!”

Hearing this, everyone present was instantly so frightened that they gasped.

Xujian Jun publicly defied Xujian Kongling’s intention; this was giving the other party no face at all!

“What did you say!”

Xujian Kongling flew into a rage, killing intent surfacing in his eyes.

“Ancestor Kongling, this junior indeed wants the position of Demon Lord! But I want to rely on myself to take it!”

“And not the help of you or anyone else!”

“Furthermore, you perhaps do not know just how powerful the current Lord Demon Lord is!”

“In the name of the ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain, I have sworn loyalty to the Lord Demon Lord, and I will absolutely not allow anyone in the Northern Domain to become an enemy of the Lord Demon Lord!”

Xujian Jun spoke with a fearless expression, full of righteousness and solemnity.

His, Xujian Jun’s, arrogance did not allow him to accept help from anyone!

Even if he were to become the supreme of the Demon Realm, he would do so uprightly and honorably, defeating the Lord Demon Lord with his own strength!

Furthermore, there was another reason he did not voice.

The current Demon Realm was exactly the kind of Demon Realm he had once imagined under his own rule after becoming the supreme of the Demon Realm.

Under the assistance of the Left Guardian, the Lord Demon Lord has governed the Demon Realm almost perfectly.

He had no reason at all to order the ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain to raise the flag of rebellion!

Back then, the Qianmo clan failed to persuade him; now, even if it is the ancestor of the Xujian family, it is still impossible to persuade him!

Xujian Kongling coldly stared at Xujian Jun before him, raising his hand as a void blade slashed out!

“Since that is the case, let the Xujian family change its head!”

Everyone present was instantly startled.

Just as the void blade was about to reach Xujian Jun, Xujian Jun suddenly fell through the floor and disappeared.

Beneath him, an opening for a void rift had appeared.

Just now, Xujian Jun had fallen into the void rift in an instant.

“The use of the Void Secret Technique is quite skillful.”

“Being able to dodge a strike from This Lord is worthy of praise.”

“To kill a talented lad of my own family, This Lord is actually somewhat reluctant.”

Xujian Kongling looked at the void rift before him, looking up toward the air outside the residence and speaking indifferently.

In the air outside the residence, a void rift burst open, and Xujian Jun slowly stepped out from it.

“Even if you are the ancestor of the Xujian family, this junior will not allow you to do as you please in the Northern Domain!”

“The current head of the Xujian family, the Lord of the Northern Domain, is me!”

Xujian Jun spoke solemnly toward Xujian Kongling inside the hall.

Xujian Kongling smiled disdainfully, took a step forward, and suddenly the void burst open before him as he entered it and disappeared.

In the next second, the void opposite Xujian Jun burst open, and Xujian Kongling elegantly and calmly stepped out from it.

“What a pity.”

“It seems This Lord can only take back everything belonging to the Xujian family!”

Xujian Kongling gave a casual wave of his hand, and thousands of void blades cut through the air, slashing toward Xujian Jun!

Xujian Jun raised his hand and burst open the void in front of him; a massive void rift swallowed all the void blades within it.

Then, a new void rift split open behind Xujian Kongling, and the swallowed void blades slashed back toward Xujian Kongling from it.

Xujian Kongling looked back and waved; the void blades were instantly swallowed by a new void rift again, turning to slash toward Xujian Jun instead!

Moreover, he directly opened over a thousand void rifts around Xujian Jun simultaneously!

Countless void blades slashed out from the continuous rifts!

Xujian Jun was startled and simultaneously opened countless void rifts, redirecting all the danger back to Xujian Kongling.

Xujian Kongling followed suit, once again opening rifts to return them with an expression as calm as clouds and light as a breeze.

Both of them were outstanding practitioners who controlled Void Secret Techniques; going back and forth with each other, they could open the void and slash void blades with a casual move!

Countless void blades continuously shuttled back and forth between various interconnected void rifts!
